Comparing petrol and diesel in Melbourne is easier when you use the same official numbers retailers report to government. This site pulls daily fuel prices from Service Victoria's Fair Fuel open data so you can see unleaded, premium, diesel, and E10 side by side across suburbs. Whether you commute on the Monash, run errands in the inner north, or drive in the outer east, a few cents per litre adds up every time you fill the tank.

Melbourne fuel prices follow a weekly cycle: they usually start low early in the week (Sunday–Monday), rise through the week, and peak around Friday–Saturday. Filling up on the right days and comparing stations can save you about $10–$20 on a 50L tank (often in the ballpark of 15–20¢/L). Use the directory and map to shortlist servos near home or work, then check trends so you are not buying at the top of the cycle. Combining timing with station choice is the most reliable way to cut fuel spend without changing how far you drive.

Our tools are free to use and do not require an account. You can search by suburb or brand, open the interactive map to plan a route, and read plain-English explainers on how Victorian fuel pricing works. When in doubt, compare yesterday's prices with today's, look for the cheapest outlet that is still convenient, and prefer filling earlier in the week when the cycle is typically softer. Small habits repeated every week deliver meaningful savings over a year.

1. Time your fill-ups to the cycle

Aim to fill up on Sunday or Monday when the cycle is typically at its lowest. Avoid Friday and Saturday if you can. Use our price trends page to see whether prices are rising or falling this week.

2. Compare before you go

Check the directory or map for your suburb or route. We show 250+ stations with prices updated daily from Service Victoria fuel reporting data. Filter by fuel type (unleaded, diesel, E10, premium) and brand to find the best deal.

3. Understand what drives prices

Global oil, the Aussie dollar, taxes, and local competition all affect the pump price. Our How fuel pricing works page explains the cycle and factors in plain language so you can plan better.
